What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The critique of the gig economy is just discernible beneath the smashmouth confrontations, and the relationship comedy (tangled on-again, off-again connections and flirtations throughout) is surprisingly earnest. It’s a recklessly fun, hoot and holler of a ride.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Wild, adventurous, quick-witted, and current!” – Ryan North, How to Invent Everything
“Bubble is timely satire, but NOT what ‘timely satire’ usually means (BORING). Instead, it’s ridiculous, warm, absurdly funny, genuinely human, and, what is most important to me: ANTI-MONSTER. I would like to be trapped in a bubble with these people–the ones who made it, and the characters they created. BUT NO MONSTERS PLEASE. Seriously. I’ve had enough of those guys!” –John Hodgeman, Medallion Status
“A timely skewering of the Millennial mindset? Check. Beasts that could disembowel you with the flick of a wrist? Check. An appearance by the bassist of our favorite band from high school? Check. Bubble meets all our criteria for a work of fiction. We’re in.” –Rhett and Link, Good Mythical Morning, The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek
“Bubble is an allegorical tale of the horrors facing American millennials that just also happens to be a perfectly exhilarating, monster-hunting action adventure. Wait, don’t buy it yet, because you should be warned it’s also beautifully humane and hilarious. OK, now you can buy it.”–Justin McElroy, The Adventure Zone
